The emerging importance of Second Language (L2) Digital Literacy within English as a Foreign Language (EFL) in Korea is becoming apparent. This is likely to evolve to where L2 Digital Literacy becomes regarded as the most critical component of overall L2 English Literacy. Computer-based Internet-hosted Learning Management Systems (LMS) are rapidly being adopted worldwide for distance education, and are also being applied to blended (hybrid) education. LMS such as the popular open-source Moodle have a special potential in EFL Education: by setting the LMS to force English to be used exclusively throughout a course website, the meta-language can be made the target L2 language. Students develop the ability to use English to navigate the Internet, access and contribute to online resources, and engage in computer-mediated communication. Through such necessary and pragmatic engagement with English, students significantly develop their L2 Digital Literacy.
